Service was great! Drinks were great, atmosphere was great! Food came out fast and the Pub Burger was 10/10! Normally I will feel sluggish after a burger but this one was amazing ! And I felt good after! Definitely will be returning! read more

Came in on a Saturday night around 6pm without a reservation. Highly recommend making a reservation as they are super busy. Luckily we were able to sit at the bar. There's many drink options including a bartender's choice option. Ian our bartender serving us made an excellent drink with the flavor profile I gave him. I also ordered the burger and fries which with the house sauce was delicious. While lucky's is a more casual vibe than Good Luck, the quality of food is still up to par read more

drinks and food were good , service was amazing . they also have trivia night during the week . will for sure be coming back with friends ! read more

I typically go for the Pub burger, it hits the spot and the fries it comes with are divine. I cant say Im a fan of their salads, but that might be personal preference. I think Lucky's deserves a higher rating on yelp probs around a 4/4.5. Not the fanciest fare, but a good place for a low key dinner with friends or visiting family. read more

I recently had dinner at Lucky's when we walked in the head waiter greeted us. One of our party members were already there rather than walk us to our table. He pointed in the direction our table was. The restaurant was a little on the dark side as we're walking to the our table there is a pretty good size step up for which I did not see and felt flat on my face. Management never came over to apologize or to see if I was OK .when the waitress was serving our drinks it just so happened that the manager was helping her as they were too many drinks for her to carry on one tray. I asked if she was the manager she said yes I said oh I was the one that fell. Oh, I heard about that she said Are you OK? She said you wouldn't believe how many customers when they're leaving fall off that step, you would think they would do something about that. They're lucky I didn't sue them for their gross negligence. They never offered any compensation such as a drink on the house or a dessert, nothing...Both knees on my slacks were stained from the fall , that's how hard I fell. Shame on them... read more

Great veggie burger! Described as housemade beet and daikon with Lucky's sauce, aged cheddar, tomato, onion, and pickle. I love beets, though they took a backseat in this burger. The patty is soft so it could be messy to eat, but worth it. Yummy burger. And the crispy, thin fries! Everyone at the table had a great meal. Good service, food came out quickly, nice atmosphere. My only complaint would be that it got a little noisy as the evening progressed. read more

Love the warm, cozy ambience. I went on a Monday night and had the app and entrée specials - croquettes and bangers with a butternut squash puree (see pic). Both were delicious! Call out to Mikaela for excellent service. read more

Loved this place near Brown croft area. You can eat at the bar , restaurant or outdoors. Staff was kind and accommodating. It was dimly lit. Bar tables and the stools are backless not my favorite but the bar is fully stocked. TONS OF options. Food was good! The menu is concise with 5 or appetizers, 5 burger or handheld options and 5 main entrees. We had an appetizer special of goat cheese and tomato sauce with bread for dipping . This was very tasty. We also shared an order of the fish and chips. This was excellent. Crispy fresh and good fries. And....the thicker cut coleslaw was excellent. And I never compliment the coleslaw so this was really good We will definitely come back!! read more

We went here during a visit to see family in Rochester and loved it! We sat outside - there were a few small sidewalk tables which were perfect on a summer day. I had the fish and chips which were outstanding - crispy and delicious. The fries were cooked in beef tallow and were crunchy and flavorful. My husband has a gluten intolerance and found plenty of options here to meet his needs. Service was prompt and friendly. It was a great visit! read more

Sunday Family Style pot roast is so disappointing! Get it off the menu! We went family style on the pot roast at $30 per person (we were told family style was the same portions as the $36 individual pot roast meal, just plated all together.. but I now question whether this is accurate). We each got one skinny slice of meat, a spoon of puréed mashed potatoes, a slightly over baked popover, and what felt like 40 tiny carrots per person. I couldn't help but notice that the table next to us, who also went family style, but had one less person at the table, but seemed to have the same portions as we did. We all felt disappointed and actually had to check our slices against each others to make sure everybody got a similar amount of beef because there was so little to share. I couldn't believe this was the experience at a restaurant like this. I would've expected a generous serving of a beautifully prepared roast. I mean, this is supposed to be "Sunday pot roast" which we've all grown up to know as the big roast in the center of the table w/ generous side dishes, and everyone is fat and happy at the end of the meal. I think we all would've been perfectly fine to pay $45 per person for a true Sunday pot roast family style. But if all you're doing is condensing three appetizer size portions and putting them onto one plate, then don't call it family style... Don't even serve it family style because then it just feels disappointing. Honestly, I was expecting gorgeous chunks of fall apart, slow cooked beef or thick slices of juicy, medium-rare beef, served with a generous bowl of mashed potatoes and a side of sweet, soft caramelly carrots. The beef was OK, but while it was described as having a beautiful and encrusted red wine infused seasoning, it had nothing of the sort when it arrived. There was not even a sprinkle of parsley or a twig of rosemary anywhere on the dish. Just three slices about an eighth of an inch thick and about 4 inches in diameter each slice. The potatoes were good (and the au jus was delicious), but they were thinly spread on the plate underneath the three slices of meat.. A platter of skinny carrots was served on the side. The popovers were beautifully shaped, but over baked, and so a bit tough on the outside. Again, we love this restaurant, but we found this family style concept just not up to the standards you expect from Lucky's. read more

A favorite place for Friday nights for us! We start with quick drink at the bar excellent selection and service with smile, then to table with wonderful, cheerful and sweet servers! Every meal has been delicious! A must go place when cooking is additional work! read more

good food and well-priced drinks! sat at the bar and the service was quick. Came for a lunch and was a bit confused about seating and then realized they don't have a host until dinner - good joint regardless! read more

Service and atmosphere were great. Menu very limited and portions are small and expensive. Some of the entrees were good (not great) - steak, smashed burger, salmon. Not good - fish and chips (fishy smell, greasy), vegetarian options (bland). We expected fabulous fries. They were shoestring fries and just average. Lukewarm coffee, very meager dessert servings. Beer and wine selections were great. Don't expect great food here but do expect great beverages. I will likely not return. Better food across the street and around the corner. read more

All three top notch, try it. The family style had a real sense of home cooked, delicious.

Went to Lucky's again for their Fish and Chips. For me, they have one of the best in the area. The fish is always high quality, fresh, flaky and moist with no signs of sogginess or off-putting textures. The beer batter is light, crispy, and perfectly golden brown. It's fried to perfection. The chips (fries) still leave me with a question mark. They are cooked in beef tallow so they have good flavor but personally, I'm a fan of thick cut fries that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Lucky's fries are on the thin side and more chewy than crispy. That said, the slaw is outstanding. They also make a homemade fry sauce that they give the table a bottle of. It's goes great with both the fish and the chips. With all honesty, if you're looking for some really good fresh, flaky, golden brown, beer battered fish, definitely give Lucky's a try. However, anything you choose on their menu, will be delicious. As for the front of the house, you can count on friendly and attentive service. read more

I frequent Lucky's a few times a month, not just for their pub burger for a Saturday brunch, but also for their prie fix, themed dinners and more recently their once a month fun dinner! The curry inspired dinner was particularly delicious! I loved the lassi cocktail, the lamb was tender and well seasoned, and the dessert was just the right amount of tart :) read more

Ok first things first I was here for a WINE DINNER so I have no clue what the regular fare is like. So.. the more you know. A friend and I went to a wine dinner that featured some Italian Wines and it was four courses. This is a specific menu made by their head chef. We sat in the upstairs space that basically seats maybe 20 people. When you walk in one one side a long bar, tv's and tables, on the right side more tables and a hostess stand. That area when you walk right in can be a bit congested. This place is from the Good Luck Restaurant group. I will say this, staff is attentive and helpful this is a plus. The menu for the wine dinner was lovely but that last course of the coffee panna cotta with the biscotti granola was kind of a misstep. Why, it's evening and a lot of people are not fans of anything coffee in the evening or maybe it's just me. The pairing of the licorice liquor was lovely but I would have been happy with a freshly made biscotti to dunk into the liquor. The other courses like the desert were paired with some lovely and refreshing white and a smooth red wine. The Menu: olive oil poached tuna toast almond, orange, celery leaf Fattoria Alois Falanghina Campania 2021 SECOND COURSE spelt mafaldine al cartoccio fennel flowers, cantaloupe, prosciutto Donna Paolina Greco di Tufo Campania 2021 THIRD COURSE oxtail ragnatela kabocha polenta Fattoria Alois Aglianico Campania 2018 FOURTH COURSE coffee panna cotta biscotti granola Paolina Liquore di Liquorizia Campania Ok a few things first course the whole almonds I was not feeling it, maybe slivers would have been a better mix all in all the first course was good The second course of the pasta in a parcel was nice and well balanced. The third course Just yum, the umami, the hit of heat, the smooth polenta it was a star course. I already talked about the last. All in all the menu was very good. The way to go about this is when you see that are doing this. You register and pay on Tock. Everything is included in the price including gratuity. If you want to order a cocktail you are welcome but you will pay for that on-site as they do give you a a drinks menu. The wine maker and the distributor were in attendance and you could order wines from a wine store in Greece. All in all it was a nice dinner, you sat just with your party a plus cause sharing a table is fine but sometimes you just wanna be with your crew. What I understand they have a nice cocktail program and I might want to try that an maybe some apps if they have an outside space in the warmer months. Parking is a small lot and street. read more

I don't know, I'd like to visit again but I don't know. I'm torn between the menu of regular type items like fish and chips fancied up with what seems to be a more labor intensive tartar sauce "gribiche" and the prices (daily chowder was a 20 something $ bowl of squash soup) relative to a neighborhood type establishment. Maybe I'm just confused by it all. The food certainly wasn't disappointing and they seemed to have a good crowd, glad for their success. read more

Lucky's is one of our mainstays. The people, food and vibe are what keep us coming back every week.

Luckys has been on my list to try for quite a while. I met a few friends for dinner, one of them is a regular... And we had a delightful meal! They were in the process of switching over their menus for some items were not available including some of the cocktails. We all ordered the Don Elote which build itself is a corn cocktail but there is a very little corn to be tasted. My sister and I still dream of the corn cocktail we had in New York City last summer and this did not hold a candle to it. The tofu sandwich was good but spicy and the side of fries is super generous. One of our friends ordered salad with dressing on the side it came on top, the waitress offered to exchange it. The lamb kebabs were also a big hit. Great vibe, would be fun to sit at the bar, can't wait to go back and try the new menu read more

3.5 stars. Came here with a group for dinner. They have a parking lot in the back which is nice. Ordered and tried several of their items including appetizer wings, clams, fish fry, sides of fries and brussel sprouts. I would say that the food here is hearty American. My favorite part was definitely the wings appetizer. Crispy and flavorful, worth a try! Fries were disappointing (came out hot but not at all crispy and portions were very small for $9 each). Entrees came out on huge plates and big portions which was fun. Clams were cooked properly, I thought the broth was interesting (a tomato base with potatoes); in addition, I feel that it should come with a side of bread to dip into the broth. Fish fry was just OK. Very thick beer batter that was extremely greasy and came with coleslaw and fries. Brussel sprouts sides were decent, but again, a tiny portion for price. I also tried the local root beer and ginger ale which came from a bottle which was OK. The average food price came out to $50 per person prior to tax and tip (not including drinks which were about $11+ for cockails). Overall, a standard and decent mid-scale American place. Not my personal cup of tea, but probably a good place for big groups or to go with coworkers. read more

3.5/5 good brunch but lacking in a couple of areas, especially at their price point Cute interior, a little noisy especially at popular hours, but a fine place to have brunch with friends! We were there for brunch at 11 on a Saturday, and it took about ~15 minutes for our food to come out. Brulee'd Grapefruit: 5/5 my favorite thing I got! So fun to break the layer of sugar on top, and the grapefruit was perfectly tart. Fries: 4/5 crispy and served hot! knocking off a point because they were extremely salty, but easily fixed by shaking the tray a bit to get rid of the large salt chunks Smoked Salmon Rosti: 4/5 the rosti was crispy, delicious, and well-seasoned, but the large dollop of cream cheese was overpowering. Breakfast Sammy: 2/5 a little too oily. I couldn't taste the "Lucky Sauce" at all, which I was hoping would cut the oiliness of the egg, cheese, and bacon. While the biscuit was buttery, it wasn't very flakey and felt quite small for the price ($12). read more

Luckys - Breakfast Sammy with Fries - New American Near Me - Rochester, New York

It's been a few years since my initial review of Lucky's, and though I haven't been updating my reviews or taking many photos of my food there, Lucky's is on our regular rotation, and we are usually there 2 or 3 times a month. We find the atmosphere enjoyable, the food is always delicious, they can almost always fit us in even when they are busy, and we love knowing that when we visit we are going to have a great experience. Here are some notes from our past 3 recent visits plus one more memorable experience: -- We were just there last Sunday for dinner; the place was surprisingly empty, but it was also the Sunday after Thanksgiving...After getting seated, we had the chance to see the Sunday supper served to the table next to us. It was a pork chop with veggies and the popover, and looked awesome, but after all the eating we had done for the holiday, we just wanted 'simple' meals, so we opted for the fish & chips and pub burger. These are two SOLID dishes on the menu. The pile of fries we always get is also delish, and we appreciate having squeeze bottles of all the sauces (ketchup, mustard, malt vinegar and their Lucky sauce) on the table. One thing I'll note is that the slaw that comes with the fish & chips is always different - sometimes in it's own dish served on the side, sometimes on the same plate as the fish, sometimes it's more vinegar-based, sometimes more mayo-based - I haven't had one I didn't like yet and I actually like how they mix it up. -- The next most-recent visit was a not-too-distant Sat, where my hubby had the Sat night special lamb shanks (can never go wrong with shanks!) and I had the cauliflower buckwheat crepes. The crepes were FANTASTIC and HUGE. It seemed to be an entire head of cauliflower in the crepe, but the way it was cooked, the seasonings, and the sauce drizzled over the top - let's just say you don't need to be afraid of you vegetables here. They are really doing them right. I'll also note that on this visit we saw numerous friends that we know - all with groups - just goes to show this place is a local fave. -- We were also there on a Monday night in mid Oct with friends from Spain who were buying us dinner. Lucky's is always open Monday nights, which is great when so many others of our fave spots are closed. While I don't remember exactly what we ate, I know this particular night included a lot of drinking and toasting, with beer, wine and whiskey all on the table at the same time, as my hubby hadn't seen these folks in almost 20 years. Our server was great - super attentive, great with making recommendations, and I just remember we sat there almost 2 hrs and were never asked to vacate the table. I know we ate because we were still able to walk out of there without any issue....but the drinking made the bigger impression. -- One more experience I can share is from last winter....we had wandered into Lucky's after a day of xc skiing, and were really hungry. I believe it was a Friday night because their Fri special is a market fish, and on this occasion they had a bouillabaisse available. We ordered a salad, the bouillabaisse, another cup or bowl of some kind of soup (I think it was a chowder), and a couple glasses of wine, and we sat at a high-top table in the bar area. The bar felt crowded but the it was really cozy in our little corner, and the server assigned to us was excellent at checking in, refilling drinks, and making sure we were happy. Overall, I just want to reiterate that Lucky's is one of our favorites for their consistency, great food, great service and hours. In summer we like to sit outside; when they are crowded we appreciate how they always fit us in, and we also love it for going with a group. Definitely check it out if you're not already a fan! read more

You can not call and order take out at this restaurant, you have to go to the restaurant, order at the bar and sit there until it's ready. I have been in the restaurant industry for 15 years, and I've never heard of a restaurant doing this. Working families do not have time for this, and I've never heard of such a thing. I just drove past the restaurant, it was completely empty, but the women on the phone told me she can't place an order over the phone ahead of time. Make it make s read more

Seems like a few of my friends seem to really like Luckys. It was not necessarily for me. I went there Saturday around 6:30 PM. It looks like Saturday was lamb shank special. It's been awhile for lamb shank, I was slightly excited. We got drinks and by 715 we made our order. First question to the waiter. "How are the lamb shanks?". The waiter said it's very nice. Unfortunately the last just was ordered. That's their special on Saturday and they're already out by 7:15. Hmm?? Oh by the way, although there were people there, possibly it was maybe 60-70% filled, it was far from busy. Keep in mind it was right before July 4 . One point though the waiter could not have been any better, so no complaints about that. I ended up ordering a hamburger. Now, the restaurant basically has about four or five sandwiches, including the hamburger, I don't know maybe six or seven entrées, and then the special of the day, which was as I said,was, lamb shanks. It doesn't take much to have a good hamburger, right! The burgers that was ordered the actual meat was probably fine. But for me to be slightly disappointed by a hamburger it's got to be something worse than average. To me I believe the bun they had was just too Doughy. I know it probably seems like not that important but when you figure the hamburger sandwich is at least 50% bread, it should be good enough that you don't think less of the meal. Well, a few days later, I made my own hamburger with a nice hard bun from Wegmans, which was 1000 times better By the way, two days later, I talk to one of my friends who goes to that restaurant and told me he didn't think I would like it. I told him about the web shank drama. He told me I had the lamb shank last time, and he did not like it. So maybe I missed a y bullet on that lamb shank after all (lol) So, as I said, the combination of being out of their specials, so early & would I considered a mediocre hamburger at best, I'm in no rush to come back. read more

Went in on a Saturday night with my family and had an excellent experience. We were seated by the friendly host who turned out to be the manager, she frequently checked on us during our meal and was accommodating for our 3 year old. Food was excellent. I got a lamb shank, my husband got a nightly special and chicken wings, and my son got a giant house made hot dog. Everything was excellent- the wings were our favorite part! Our server was friendly and as busy as it was we received excellent service. We will definitely be back again! read more

Girls night out and decided to try "Lucky's". Heard it is owned by the same people who started "Good Luck".... How could we go wrong? Started with a sparkling Brut Rose' which was $9, and had a delicious Caesar salad $12 (tasty dressing with a very surprising crunch too). My only issue with the salad.....it was served in the tiniest white bowl I've ever tried to eat anything in, let alone a salad! Made zero sense. To say it was messy is an understatement. My salad kept falling out and on the table. LOL - they may want to rethink this. For dinner I did the Chicken Confit $23 - disappointed in the small portion of actual meat on this small leg of chicken, but everything else about it was amazing. Enjoyed the thick cut bacon pieces and roasted Brussels sprouts too. My two guests enjoyed their meal too- one did the Chicken Confit like I did, same reaction to the dish, and the other did the Eggplant dish which was over a tahini feta sauce and topped with greens - this dish will HAUNT ME, it was just THAT GOOD! Keep up the great work at Lucky's - one of the most interesting and eclectic menus I have seen in a while! Btw - our waitress AMY deserves a mention - A+++ and made our evening complete. Thank you, Amy! read more

Amazing curried chicken wings! Bar tender super friendly and helpful with beer selection

I've been to Lucky's three or four times now - always sitting outside and always drinking spiked lemonade. I had exclusively positive experiences with the entire bar staff, the gorgeous interior, and of course the great outdoor seating. The space is rustic and cozy and the menu is wide ranging, with burgers, brunch, and more unique options available. I haven't been in to eat yet, and will update this review when I finally do. I've never been swayed to eat here because of the menu and prices, but the few brunch options all look outstanding and I have heard that the curried wings are a win. They offer trivia on Tuesdays which I have yet to attend because of COVID, but look forward to coming out for some later, vaccinated day. Overall, an excellent addition to the neighborhood and a fun destination for outdoor seating when the weather is right. Looking forward to updating my review soon, but in the meantime - order a vodka lemonade and pretend it is summer. read more

We had been wanting to try Lucky's before the lock down started but didn't have a chance. Indoor seating and outdoor seating are an option now with reservations recommended. At 12noon on a Sunday, there were no other tables on our side of the indoor dining. To start, they have a large private parking lot which is nice with a neighborhood spot. Inside is a chill, casual hang out vibe. Maybe not a date night spot but definitely for a quick drink or night out with friends. Our server was friendly and prompt! Definitely appreciated more during these crazy stressful times. We tried the Curried Wings, the Green Eggs and Ham frittata (brunch menu), the Fried Cod and the Cinnamon Bun (brunch menu). I did ask if the potatoes could be removed from the frittata but they were unable to do so which likely indicates, it's mixed ahead of time. I still enjoyed it. But it would be nice to have that option in the future. I also enjoyed their Bloody Mary which is a simple version without a ton of garnish but I felt it was a good mix. I'd like to see a boozy coffee option on the menu. Maybe some Irish cream or Whiskey Cream. I'd like to return in the future and would definitely get the wings again! read more

Overall we had a very good experience here! We came in for a Friday night reservation and got seated in the upstairs dining room. It was a little quieter up there, but still noisy. The salad, burger, and fries were all great! The fish was a little bland, but nice and crispy. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. I would definitely come back in the future. read more

My wife and I have been to luckys many times over the past year. We can always get a table or spot at the bar and we enjoy it a lot because the atmosphere is always laid back no matter what day of he week you stop in. The decor does not stand out a all and lends itself to being that laid back easy going cocktail joint. Everything is clean and the staff are super friendly. The food is always solid and the drinks are generally on point. Overall a great hang for a quick bite or a cocktail, maybe two or three. Highly recommend going for trivia night on Tuesdays, it's always a good time. read more

Casual fun place with a great bar.Curated menu-smallish but excellently prepared-with some fresh takes

The veggie burger was absolutely disgusting. My husband said his fish and chips was the worst he has had. The fries are wayyyy too salty. It's expensive too so I was expecting great food. We still joke about how bad it was. It's dark so I guess if you're on a 1st date, that might be good. read more

I'm not a hipster but much respect to all you artisan crazies. First time visit but I promise you, I'll be back. Lots of pride in the food and drink at Lucky's. Our server Jack made every item on the menu seem like some kind of renaissance poem. We ended up sharing the Sunday special, which was the perfect pick for us. Taking a peek at all the different plates being served, I'm pretty sure we would've been good with any dish on the menu. And oh, Jack was genuinely excited for us for choosing the special. Amazing food and service. read more
